Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Friday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sack Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for negligence of his duty in stopping the violence in parts of Haryana post the conviction of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in connection with a rape case.
Omar took to Twitter and said, "PM Modi should sack his Haryana CM for gross dereliction of duty. The CM had more than enough time to prepare for this eventuality".
Soon after that, Omar tweeted again questioning the response of the security forces in Haryana stating that "Chilli bombs? Pepper grenades? Pellet guns? Do the forces keep those only for protesting Kashmiris?"
